That fact has no moral content. The morally relevant facts are; the animal
was bred to be food, well-treated or not, killed humanely or not, sold and
consumed. Combining egg and sperm for the purpose of creating a product
involves no sacrifice, no "consideration" of the well-being of any animal.
Those are the morally relevant concepts in this equation.

The rest is just more of your rubbish.
